hi all…
i’m trying to pass some variables from the dialplan to an external script using the agi interface. so i do AGI(myscript|${var1}|${var2})
that’s fine but how do i get those variables on the other end - are they supposed to be as command line variables? i didn;t find anything about it when reading about the agi_ variables that asterisk passes on…
so are $var1 and $var2 to be trated as argv?!
thanks…
ok… the answer is yes… the variables are passed as if they were command line arguments. so they can be read with argv[1], argv[2], etc…
i didn;t find this anywhere so here…
Can I ask where you were able to find good info on the AGI?
Yea I’ve looked here just thought you might have some additional resources. Thanks though.
AGI is very similar to CGI (common gateway interface). There are a plethora of CGI examples/tutorials on the web.
You may have already gone down this path, but if not, I think you’ll find a great deal of the concepts in CGI can be applied to AGI.
